READ MORE: The autonomous mobility system was tested at the Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, Japan. It seats one person and travels about two miles per hour. It will return automatically to where it started. The rider uses a tablet to start and stop the chair. Designers hope that chairs like this will one day be used in hospitals, parks, and shopping centers too. We were created to help one another. Ecclesiastes 4:9 says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.”
